The Democrats in the Ncw-Jcrscy Lcgis-
lature true TO their party instincts, yesterday
practically killed the Corbin Hgh-License bill.
Whenever the rum interest is concerned the
Democrats rally almost to man in its defence.
Yet there were many honest and sincere
Temperance men who helped the Democrats
into power in New Jersey at the last election
by supporting the third-party ticket. Next
election they will act with more wisdom.
Irish generation for St. Patrick does not
diminish with the increase of time. His
memory was honored in this city yesterday with
the same respect as in former years. One
feature of the days celebration was an address
by DIR. McGlnn, who emphasized his views
concerning the ownership of land by pointing
out that they were practically enforced in Ire
land in ST. Patrck's time. The Doctor evident
" does not mean to abatc one jot of his teach
ings on this subject.
The result of the important conference
in this city between the representatives

ports and stores their oil will be hailed
with satisfaction in Western Pennsylvania
and New-York. The producers have been
in dishcartened and depressed condition for
q long time, and in their despair they bcsOught
legislative interference. But without this aid
they have now secured a reduction of over 81
per cent i'm the storage and of over SO per cent
in "shrinkage" charges These concessions
ought to exert beneficial effect on this great
commercial interest.

Some time ago a native hunter IN
Siam found sapphires in a remote and
secluded district Some men who
were let into the secret followed him
into the mines and brought back TO
Rangoon and Calcutta q number of very
valuable stones. A rush ensued from
British Burmnh, says the Je10etTy
NelJs. thousands of adventurers flock
ing to the mines, some to find sudden
fortune, hut more to lose their lives
from privatlon and Jungle fever. The
mines are located IN the provinces OF
Battambong and ChautabOOn. In ms
commercial report the British Consul
Bankok saws that the miners are very
careful to conceal their gems While IN
Siam Being anxious to show some Of
the gems to the English Admiral the
Consul called for specimens from some
miners who had Just returned from the
diggings. One miner, a pOOrly-clld
and misunderstanding fellow, produced
q few small stones, and after q great
deal OF coaxing was induced, with many
| precautions, to give private view OF
| his great prize, which was a large
sapphire In the rOugh, valued at SO, UOO.
/ He would probably not have shown the
stone at all if he had not been on the
point of leaving in q steamer. Owing
| - the secrecy thus observed by the
Ipossessors of valuable gems it Is in
| possible to give any estimate OF the
| total value Of the stones found. but
/ that individuals have made large profits
is certain. One man dug out a stone
which he offered for sale at ChautabOOn
flor $500, but did not find a purchaser
J He went with it to Rangoou, where he
was offered 81, 500, but, having awak-
/ ened to the value of the stone, he
| declined to sell, and took it to Calcutta,
! where he eventually obtained Sl5, OOJ
| for If. Now, however, there are many
experienced gem merchants established
/ IN the neighborhoOd of the mines, and
/ something like the real value of the
stone can he obtained by the miners on
! the spot. The largest sapphire hitherto
/ found, so far as the Consul knows,
weighed $40 carats in the rough, and
when cut turned out III carats Of the
! finest water. The ruby, onyx, and jade
are found in the district, but the quality
of none of them is such as to make
| them very valUshlN

Sixty or seventy years ago the birds
were exceedingly common along the
northern coast, coming as far as
Nahant. But warfare was commenced
upon them, and, though it hard y seems
possible. their determination is doubt
less complete; the last living bird
having been killed in 1914, on a group
Of islands called Funglasker, of the
southwest coast OF Iceland.
In the last century, these birds,
which were large. handsome, and
striking in appearance, were common
at the Farce Islands; aud, as they
were found to be good eating, they
were slaughtered by the boatload, not
only for immediate use, but to be dried
and preserved. They were finally
driven to q desolate rock that was con
sidered inaccessible; but one calm day
a FurOese succeeded in making a land
ing, and the crew destroyed nearly the
entire rOOkery. A few birds escaped
to sea and returned after the departure
OF the men, and for time were safe.
Then, as if nature herself were in league
against them, the rock, a few years
later, was enguIfed by a submarine
eruption.
The few remaining great auks now
assembled and formed 8 rookery on a
rock called EIdey, where, for fourteen
years, they lived a precariOus existence.
During that time sixty of their number
were taken, and finally the last pair
was destroyed. Their history in other
localities is very similar to this. That
the birds were once common on the
Maine coast is shown by the fact that
their bones are found in the oyster
shell heaps at various parts Of the
shore.
At the same time and in the same 10
cality with the great aux, lived the
Labrador duck, a fine bird, quite rare
even in collections, and now to-
tally extinct. The last known living
/ specimen was killed by Colonel We'd
derburn, of Halifax, in 1852
In a similar way the curious dodo,
which was a great pigeon, was exter-
minated. The sailors who visited the
island Of Mauritius used to kill them in
mere wanton sport
The 7lOtoT75is. a beautiful rail of
New Zealand, has become extinct prob
ably within the memory of some of our
readers, its determination also being
/ due to man. And in our own time, We
see the buffalo being crowded farther
and farther into the mountains, and
almost exterminated from our western
plains. Charles Frederick Holder,

Itmay interest women to learn that
the islanders of New Guinea, ara mar
RED not according TO their own inelina-
ton, bat those Of their parents They
are most frequently alhancad at a very
tender age, but afterwards Forbid N to
associate with each other. Indeed,
this is carried so far that the girl may
not even look at her future husband.
Both must avoid all contact with the
members, both masculine and feminine,
Of the family into which they are about
TO enter. Their wedding ceremonies
are characterized by q reserve and
modesty very remarkable in a savage
people of the tropics. Adorned with
the most beautiful ornaments, the bride
is conducted at night in q torchlight
procession through the village. One
woman carries her on her back, while
another binds her arms, as though she
were a captive, and leads her By tie
rope to the house of her betrothed.
This is a symbol Of Slavery souvenir
of the ancient servitude which the aristo-
cratic class has preserved. There is
nothing of this in the procession Of the
poor.
On reaching their destination the
bridegroom is presented to the brides
relatives, who lead him into her cham
Der. She awaits him with her back
turned, Indicating that she fears to
meet his eonquering gaze. The young
man approaches till within two feet of
her, turns on his heels, and then they
are back to back in the midst of a
numerous assembly, the men on one
side, the women on the other. After
the entertainment the bride IS led into
her own room, still not daring to meet
the terrible glance Of her husband, and
keeping her back turned to the door.
Seeing this, the husband also turns his
/ back on her. The whole night is spent
il this manner; they sit there motion
| less, having some one to brush away
the flies, and without speaking a word.
If they grow sleepy some one of the
assistants, who take turns in doing this
service, nudges them with his elbow.
If they keep wide awake they are as
sured Of a long life and green old age.
In the morning they separate, still
without looking at each other, in order
to refresh themselves after the fatigues
of the previous night. This perform
ance is continued for four nights, and
on the fifth morning, with the first rays
of tue sun, the young people may look
each other in the face. That sufiices
the marriage is considered accom-
/ PIished, and the newIy-welded pair re-
ceive the customary congratulations
